Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Your Stability with BETOOLL Brackets Bracket Mounting Hardware by David Herrera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast, easy and durable.

Good price and very durable. The assembly took about 1 hour. Previous reviewers and product photos note that the 4x6 holes are not positioned correctly. The manufacturer has apparently taken care of this as our mounts have holes in the corners. The included anchor bolts are zinc plated, which some reviewers say is unsuitable for pressure-treated lumber. Chemicals in pressure treated wood will corrode bolts and can fail over time. Using stainless steel or ceramic coated screws solves this problem but adds cost. If this is a problem, you can price stainless steel hardware or consider using pressureless lumber. The bolts were about 3/8" diameter and 2" long, the 13mm head matched the bolt head best, so they're probably metric, but this isn't a rocket ship. The 4x6 is very tight on the mount and one side needs a little pounding. We actually resorted to using a 2lb sled with a piece of wood as a buffer to prevent damage to the mount and its beautiful colour. Very happy with this product. Some ceramic coated or stainless steel anchor bolts are the only improvement needed. Note: Fresh pressure treated lumber is damp and swollen, you may need to scrape some material off the ends of the 4x6 to fit the brackets, or purchase dry lumber. Update: It's been a few months and it still looks and works as it should. Plan to bury your feet or use ground anchors if your kids weigh over 50 pounds and/or like to swing high. For bigger kids, it will shake a little, not dangerous, just bother some faint of heart, kids really enjoy it with a little shake.
